Living and Working On Base

No matter where a Marine goes, there will be much to see and do. Marine Corps bases are located throughout the U.S. and all over the world. Time off for travel and sightseeing is afforded to all Marines, no matter where they are stationed.

There are plenty of recreational opportunities both on and off base. Fitness centers house much of the intramural activities, such as basketball and swimming. There are also multi-denominational chapels on many bases for religious services and activities.

Most bases often have medical facilities available to active-duty Marines, their dependents, and retirees. If there are no medical facilities available on base, Marines are referred to a civilian facility at little or no cost.

Department of Defense schools for Marines and their dependents are located on most major bases.
